I’m not sure about the logistics of Pro Community giveaways, but I had a couple of ideas for special giveaways outside of the usual monthly ones.
1. Regional Giveaway – Pro Community SMB Collab
This would follow the format of the Creator Collab giveaways in the Legion Gaming Community. Every few months, they partner with a Twitch streamer to run a two-week giveaway alongside their monthly one. The creator receives a Legion Go to showcase on stream (which they keep as compensation), while a second unit is the giveaway prize. Members can earn bonus entries by following the creator’s social accounts, and secret codes revealed during streams offer additional chances to win.
A Pro Community version could involve partnering with an SMB (small-to-medium business) active on social media. The prize could be either a predetermined item from the Lenovo Pro shop or an item within the ARV budget chosen by the SMB, with the same item awarded to the giveaway winner. Another option is partnering with the My Lenovo Rewards program, where both the SMB and the giveaway winner receive a set amount of MLR points to redeem.
The SMB could promote the giveaway by posting about how the selected item helps their business, revealing secret codes in their content for extra entries. Members could even nominate SMBs they’d like to see participate. This could align with themed months—e.g., a women-owned SMB for National Women’s Small Business Month (October) or Women’s History Month (March).
2. Global Giveaway – The Ultimate Digital Nomad Experience
The Colive Fukuoka event inspired this idea. Lenovo could collaborate with other sponsors to create the Ultimate Digital Nomad Giveaway. The grand prize could include:
A Lenovo digital nomad kit (laptop, backpack, and other digital nomad tech essentials)
A month-long pass to Colive Fukuoka
Round-trip airfare
Accommodations for the month
Additional perks, such as local dining vouchers, attraction tickets, or a city tour
This could be a random Gleam giveaway (with all sponsors sharing the widget) or a judged contest where participants submit an essay or video on why attending Colive Fukuoka would be meaningful. A panel of sponsor representatives would then select the winner. Either way, the contest could run for at least a few months.
I think these ideas could make for exciting giveaways. What do you think? Do you have any other special giveaway ideas?
